Netsweeper Client Filter

Netsweeper Client Filter for Andorid allows users, running a Netsweeper Filtering service, to integrate browsers with their central filtering service.

The Netsweeper Client Filter will send all URL requests to a Netsweeper Policy Service to filter each URL when installed. The Netsweeper Policy Service is configurable in this application to be set to any deployed system by any Netsweeper customer. The policy service can be password protected by the Administrator of the policy service by setting a Client Filter uninstall password.

When using the Netsweeper Client Filter the following data is transmitted to the Policy Service for filtering purposes:

The complete URL of each web request and all elements on a web page

The account name of the user signed in

The IP address of the workstation as seen by the Policy Service

The sole purpose of the Netsweeper Client Filter is to filter all URL requests and to extend the Netsweeper Policy Service and Client Filter platform to the Android devices.

The Netsweeper Client Filter for Android is free but does require a Netsweeper Policy Service to be installed and configured.
